The decoy profile concept many have suggested for years is far more flawed than this. It wouldn't hide the presence of other profiles and would be trivially identified. Basic forensic software on a laptop would identify it without exploits. It would also make exploits far easier.

Exploiting the OS becomes drastically easier after being granted access to a profile. USB becomes available, every radio can be turned on and an app can be installed with every permission granted. Developer options and ADB would need to be available to pretend to be Owner...

@GrapheneOS@grapheneos.social Remember kids, always take a clean unused phone with you on a vacation abroad (preferably a clean unused phone which will be wiped after returning back home). Anyway, this shouldn't happen in a civilized world like the Schengen area or the rest of Anglosphere. The U.S. is there only country that asks you for your social media handles on the travel authorization form BTW.
